Sterlington police: Man demanded crack, chased woman to PD

A man is facing multiple charges after reportedly chasing the mother of his child from her Sterlington apartment to the police department.

According to an arrest affidavit, officers with the Sterlington Police Department met a woman carrying a small child and screaming at the front door of their office. A black man was also at the door, and officers reported the woman was trying to get away from him

The man, later identified as Christopher Davis, 32, of 605 Harvey, was detained in a police unit while officers questioned the woman, who said Davis was the father of 2-month-old baby. She told officers she had a protective order for Davis out of Union Parish, but she allowed him to visit her apartment to see the baby and let him stay for approximately one month.

She said Davis later became abusive toward her again, according to the report. Officers noted swelling of her left eye, and she said Davis hit her after a fight and threatened to kill her if she did not "get him some crack cocaine."

She told the interviewing officer she started to leave and Davis would not give her their child. After receiving this statement, the interviewer went back to the squad car to inform the officer detaining Davis of the situation.

Upon re-entering the office, he heard shouting and saw Davis running away from the other vofficer in the direct of Louisiana 2. The officer reported catching up with the suspect behind the Valero station on Louisiana 2 and tackling him to the ground.

When the suspect was placed back in the patrol unit, he said he wanted to press charges against the woman because she stabbed him on the same day he reportedly hit her. The suspect showed officers scratches on his left side, shoulder and neck.

Officers questioned the female about the incident, and she said the pair were in a fight when Davis hit her and went at her with a knife but stuck the knife in a wall. She said she took the knife out in a blind rage and attacked Davis.

Davis was booked into Ouachita Correctional Center on charges of domestic abuse battery, simple escape, resisting arrest and violation of a protective order.
